TheNameIsOrlando 310 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 Trading Vuc for more young talent helps in the long term but I hate its short term effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
God Hates Otis Smith 153 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 On the ESPN rumor, I have no idea but just for sh*ts and giggles: LAL- Cousins SAC- Magic #5/Vucevic/Jeremy Lin ORL- #2 LAL/#6 SAC +Julius Randle and Nik Stauskas Works in the trade machine. http://espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=netmaxs Our new starting 5 would be: C- Okafor with #2 pick PF- Randle SF- A. Gordon or Tobias or Winslow or Hezonja with #6 pick Oladipo Payton I think it's Fantasyland but a guy can dream can't he? LOL you think we are getting all that for vucevic and 5?

Catman 380 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 Dudes this exact scenario was posted by Magical 5 months ago and I brought it up here. I personally would trade for Okafor in 2 seconds. I believe he is a special player who will become a better defender. I think he is better than Vuc personally, or will be. The exact scenario was to trade Vuc and maybe a few other players and get Okafor. The fact that we get pick 6 of out this would just be icing. I personally would love this move. All respect to Vuc but Okafor is going to be a better player than him. I firmly believe that. He is one of the top no brainer picks in this draft and a future star that everyone is wanting. Furthermore, this move may be to get Porzingis. Henny may like the guy that much. Can't even assume it's to get Okafor, even though that seems to make sense.

Catman 380 Report post Posted June 22, 2015 Trading Vuc and an asset for Okafor would be retarded Yes but 6 months ago Okafor was considered a can't miss superstar NBA big. His stock fell back to earth but he is still a very rare big that will be a great piece for years on any team. We trade vuc to get him and we will have an upgrade at C in a year. He is still regarded as a top 3 pick by about everyone. The madness would be if we made this trade to get Russell. Thats when I'd really flip out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okafor might be an upgrade The important word is might. Vucevic is already skilled with major flaws on defense. I can understand trading him for a different player but they're the exact same guy.

I can understand trading him for a different player but they're the exact same guy. I don't think they are. Okafor is more athletic and I think his offensive game is even more advanced. All that being said we don't know for sure if this is the trade being rumored. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soul Bro 1,422 Report post Posted June 23, 2015 I think it'd be to get Russell at #2 and KP or WCS at #5 or #6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catman 380 Report post Posted June 23, 2015 If we get Russell this would be an amazing win. Have to assume maybe Koufos is the guy in free agency. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
